What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?

A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.

Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I’m not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.

How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?

    I’m just confused about the people that want a gas station. Y’all are walking to get your gas?

    But maybe it’s to get a pack of smokes which tends to be only sold at gas stations where I live. But I dunno about this poll.

      Gas stations in my area tend to have better food than the grocery store’s deli. If you want something quick and good, its the way to go for us.

        So it is american version of shopping mall. Symptom of city planner’s skill issue.

      Lots of gas stations have a food menu now and things to grab late at night or when you don’t want a full store.

        That would have been a better question! For me, I have a gas station within my walk, but two closer convenience stores. I wouldn’t get actual food at any of them, but for a quick snack or drink, they’re convenient.
